Review: "Helluva Town" at Janet Borden


Many of the city's photography galleries have banded together to salute New York this summer. Borden's lively mix is exemplary, and not just because it features photographs by Tina Barney, Lee Friedlander, and Martin Parr.

Among the highlights: a classic Jan Groover triptych of downtown façades; Neil Winokur's high-impact still-lifes of a plastic traffic cone, an Empire State Building replica, and a takeout-coffee cup on brightly colored backdrops; and Ray Mortenson's masterly, meticulous study of a wall in an abandoned Bronx apartment, its crumbling plaster a pathetic echo of more magnificent ruins.

From The New Yorker.
